30 Great Examples of People Doing Nice Things

A Christmas Jar is a pickle jar, peanut butter jar, or Mason jar....coins are dedicated to the jar, and during the week before Christmas you prayerfully select someone to give it to anonymously. Simply put your jar on their porch, in their car, on their desk--wherever--and you could change their life for good!

We usually do this all year then get the kids gifts.

During the year, put extra change in a jar and around Christmas time, shop for the ones you love :)

A Christmas Jar is a pickle jar, peanut butter jar, or Mason jar....when you have spare change, put it in the jar, and the week before Christmas find somebody you know who maybe lost their job, or have medical troubles, and anonymously put it on their porch. It really makes your day to know that someone out there is thinking of you, and you could inspire someone to do it next year.

I read the book "Christmas Jar" and I have done this for the last 3 years. I keep my change in a jar all year long. I don't count it. I just take a copy of the book and a note telling what it is about and give it annonymously. It has been a blast!! Everyone should give it a try. You won't miss the extra change you empty out of your purse or pockets throughout the year but it adds up and someone that God leads to you will appreciate it at Christmas.

The Magic Wand Project is a social kindness experiment inviting people to discover what they love and care about in their city and community…AND consider where they might share their magic to make the place we live better.
